ACROSS THE ENTRANCE TO HIS DRIVEWAY. AUDRA SPOKE TO THE MAN ARRESTED AND JOINS US LIVE NOW. WE SPOKE TO THE ELDERLY MAN WHO IS FACING DISORDERLY CONDUCT CHARGES AFTER POLICE SAY HE TRIED TO PREVENT A PLOW TRUCK DRIVER FROM DOING HIS JOB. BUT THE MAN SAID HE WAS JUST TRYING TO CLEAN HIS DRIVEWAY WHEN HE WAS SUDDENLY ARRESTED. 75-YEAR-OLD MAN IS ACCUSED OF BLOCKING A PLOW TRUCK DRIVER FROM CLEARING THE SNOW NEAR HIS DRIVEWAY ON MOUNTAIN VIEW ROAD. MR. LOWIE WOULDN'T LET HIM THROUGH, DIDN'T WANT HIM TO PLOW THE SNOW, WAS ANGERED BECAUSE THE MANNER IN WHICH THE PLOW WOULD PLOW THE ROAD, WHICH WOULD ULTIMATELY PUSH SNOW IN FRONT OF HIS DRIVEWAY. BUT LOWIE DISPUTES THAT STORY, WE SPOKE TOM AT THOUGH, THOUGH HE DID NOT WISH TO GO ON CAMERA. HE TOLD US, QUOTE, I'M NOT PROUD OF THE ARREST, BUT ALL A WAS DOING WAS CLEANING MY DRIVEWAY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG, HE SAYS HE WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO SHOVEL OUT HIS OWN DRIVEWAY WHEN HE SAYS THE PLOW TRUCK REPEATEDLY CLEARED SNOW ACROSS HIS DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME D.P.W. HAS REPORTED THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT ON THIS ROUTE WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL. BUT LOWIE EXPRESSIONED SURPRISE TO US THAT HE WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS AND ARRESTED. HE SAID, QUOTE, I DON'T KNOW WHY I SHOULD BE BULL YILD FOR CLEANING MY DRIVEWAY. HE SAYS HE'S NEVER BEEN ARRESTED IN HIS LIFE. I THINK THE THING TO REMEMBER IS EVERYBODY IS JUST TRYING TO DO THE BEST THEY CAN WITH WHAT MOTHER NATURE THROWS AT US. EVERYBODY HERE HAS A DRIVEWAY AND DEALS WITH THE SAME THING. THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS ACKNOWLEDGES IT'S BEEN A LONG WINTER. BUT HE SAYS HIS CREW IS WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK THESE PAST FEW DAYS AND HE OFFERED THIS PIECE OF ADVICE. IF YOU HAVE A SNOWBLOWER OR PLOW TRUCK OPERATOR OF YOUR OWN, YOU CAN CUT FURROWS INTO THE SNOW BANKS UPSTREAM OF YOUR DRIVEWAY, SO WHEN THE PLOW COMES THROUGH, IT WILL LOSE A LOT OF SNOW IN THOSE FURROWS AND THERE WILL BE LESS TO COME OFF THE BLADE IN YOUR DRIVEWAY. LOWIE HAS A COURT DATE ON MARCH 11. LOT OF DIFFERING OPINIONS ON THIS ONE. WE'LL HEAR FROM YOU LATER ON IN TONIGHT'S TALKER. LIVE IN MERRIMACK, AUDREY COX,
